This is another beautiful song which can be found in Solid Gold Maori Songs and is attributed to Te Rangi Pai. Both Steffi Lubrich and myself sang this in Maori with concertina accompaniment, the intro. is especially nice to play.
This is a very gentle and soft lullaby which I'd dearly love to sing to a Maori child. I'm dying to get back to New Zealand to see if my Maori accent comes up to scratch.
